I already started a thread about how stupid this is, I guess you missed it. To some it up, only totalitarians, or people who think totalitarians have a point, ever support laws to restrict anyone's freedom, because it always comes back to bite them in the ass.

I wonder if they also protest at the funerals of the perpetrators of this much larger massacre.

Massacre at Hue

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hu&#7871; Massacre (Vietnamese: Th&#7843;m sát t&#7841;i Hu&#7871; T&#7871;t M&#7853;u Thân or Vietnamese: th&#7843;m sát T&#7871;t M&#7853;u Thân &#7903; Hu&#7871 is the name given to the summary executions and mass killings perpetrated by the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army during their capture, occupation and later withdrawal from the city of Hu&#7871; during the Tet Offensive, considered one of the longest and bloodiest battles of the Vietnam War.

During the months and years that followed the Battle of Hu&#7871;, which began on January 31, 1968, and lasted a total of 28 days, dozens of mass graves were discovered in and around Hu&#7871;. The estimated death toll was between 2,800 to 6,000 civilians and prisoners of war were buried.[1] Victims were found bound, tortured, and sometimes apparently buried alive.

A number of U.S. and South Vietnamese authorities as well a number of journalists who investigated the events took the discoveries, along with other evidence, as proof that a large-scale atrocity had been carried out in and around Hu&#7871; during its four-week occupation. The killings were perceived as part of a large-scale purge of a whole social stratum, including anyone friendly to American forces in the region.
